PARTING SHOT

SLANE CASTLE HAS always lent The Traitors Ireland a touch of theatre. But this week, with just a few episodes to go in the thrilling series, the show tipped into full-blown melodrama.

Pine coffins, wailing mourners, a fake funeral that was somehow both chilling and hilarious – and the quiet, inevitable fall of Paudie, the man who had survived arguably against the odds for nine tense episodes.

The Journal’s Andrew Walsh got a chance to chat to the man himself after his eviction from the castle.
